A Message From Our Managing Partner

Dear future colleagues:

Distinguishing among law firms is tough. On paper, many firms look similar, each boasting collegial work environments, talented attorneys, sophisticated work, a high level of client services, and numerous practice areas from which to choose. What makes Schnader so special -- and what has led us to make it our home since finishing law school, a clerkship and beginning our careers - is its reputation for superior quality legal work within a uniquely positive working environment.

Schnader has a "small-firm" feel, with a "large firm" legal practice. The attorneys care about each other and enjoy working together. Commitments to diversity and openness have been a part of the Firm's tradition since its founding days, and are just as highly valued today. At the same time, the Firm has attracted high quality legal talent in every department. Schnader is consistently given high marks by the legal communities in the cities where we have offices for the quality of our legal services. Just as importantly for us, the Firm has a long-standing tradition and commitment to pro-bono and public service.

I invite you to browse our website to learn more about the Firm. In this section, you can learn more about our summer associate program, associate life at the Firm, and see what makes Schnader exceptionally unique. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
